Qiu Hui's heart tightened as she held Xia Xia in her arms tightly. She lowered her eyes and looked at the little girl in her arms.

“Xia Xia, are you afraid?”

The little girl was still young, but she looked so calm. Her expression did not change as she shook her head and said, “I'm not afraid.”

“Good girl.” Qiu Hui smiled. “I promised your mother to protect you, so I will not allow anyone to hurt you.”

Even if it came with a heavy price, she would not hesitate to do so!

Qiu Hui raised her head firmly, staring intensely at the people in front of her.

“If you want to take Xia Xia away, you have to step over my dead body first!”

“Qiu Hui, do you think you can stop us just because you are from Nine Gate? An Emperor Warrior with extraordinary strength?”

Boom!

A storm lifted violently around Nan Feixue's body. It was so powerful that it shocked Qiu Hui a little.

“You…”

‘How is it possible?'

She knew Nan Feixue well.

How could Nan Feixue reach this rank?

Emperor Warrior!

She had already reached Emperor Warrior tier!

Qiu Hui panicked. She was also an Emperor Warrior, but she had to protect Xia Xia, so it was somewhat challenging to face Nan Feixue.

“Aunt Qiu, why don't you go first? I'm not afraid.”

The little girl raised her small face stubbornly. “I am Mother's daughter. I am not afraid of anything.”

“Don't say stupid things. How can I leave you behind? I told you, even if I die here today, I will never let anything happen to you!” Qiu Hui sneered. “Besides, she can't kill you even if she's already an Emperor Warrior.”

Nan Feixue sneered. She raised her hand, and in an instant, everyone from the Nan family surrounded Qiu Hui.

Qiu Hui gritted her teeth, holding Xia Xia in her arms tightly. She held a long sword in her other hand and looked at these people in front of her fearlessly.

“Qiu Hui, since I dare to come, I am sure of killing you before s.n.a.t.c.hing that little girl. So I only give you one chance. Are you sure you won't hand her over to me?”

Qiu Hui sneered and answered Nan Feixue's words with her actions.

She rushed toward Nan Feixue with a sword in her hand that emitted an icy cold aura.

Tianya was kind to her. Without Tianya, she would have died a long time ago.

Moreover, she had promised Feng Ruqing to take care of Xia Xia, so she must fulfill it.

One must keep one's word…

Even if it meant sacrificing one's life to keep a promise!

The other members of the Nan family were a little weaker, so they could not stop Qiu Hui.

Seeing Qiu Hui's swift attack, Nan Feixue no longer hesitated and rushed toward her.

Clang!

The long swords collided in the air, and sparks shot out in all directions.

Qiu Hui needed to protect Xia Xia, making it difficult for her to resist the attack. Blood suddenly spurt out of her mouth.

“Aunt Qiu…”

Xia Xia hugged Qiu Hui's neck, her big eyes watery like a deer's eyes.

The other people of Tianya's manor also heard the sound and came out, but these were only ordinary people. They were no match for the skilled masters of the Nan family, and some of them were instantly killed.

The blood flowed from the courtyard, staining the ground red.

Qiu Hui held back the mouthful of blood in her throat, threatening to spill out of her mouth, and went swiftly toward Nan Feixue.

She was as fast as the wind, and the long sword in her hand was like lightning, cutting through the air.

The sword light was swift and fierce, heading toward Nan Feixue.

Nan Feixue dodged to the side.

The sword light cut the tree behind her before it fell to the ground.
